Yu have a Chiller, Nw What? Raschell Hickmtt Reginal Sales Manger Dimplex Thermal Slutins Klant Klers Brand Chillers
Agenda This presentatin is develped t be a very brief and generic intrductin t anyne wh receives a new chiller and wuld like a jumpstart t what t expect. This presentatin may nt fit exactly fr yur heat remval prduct, but may have valuable usable infrmatin.
Agenda Preparatin fr Start Up Lcatin Install Suggested Parts/Tls fr Cmmissining Preparatin Start Up Steps Standard Maintenance Tips Questins, Cmments?
Preparatin fr Start Up Lcatin: Lcate n a flat, level, hard surface and clse t the prcess. Avid crrsive fumes, excessive misture, excessive dust, r high rm temperatures. Ensure there is prper clearances fr: Electrical enclsure access Maintenance access Prper air circulatin
Preparatin fr Start Up Install: Secure feet, r lck caster wheels. Chiller is anchred and supprted accrding t specificatins and lcal cdes. Chiller is fully plumbed int the prcess equipment. Field piping sized and installed accrding t specs.
Preparatin fr Start Up Suggested Parts/Tls fr Cmmissining: Air Filter(s) Fluid Filter(s) Pump Shaft Seal Pump O-Ring Glycl tester refractmeter
Preparatin fr Start Up Preparatin: Perfrm cleaning/flushing f the piping system. Inspect all accessible wiring fr tightness and/r damage. Verify incming vltage matches the nameplate within ±10%. Check phase rtatin: Pump - Mmentarily press in ne cntactr cil and watch rtatin. N Pump Use a phase checking devise. Open all islatin valves s the prcess fluid is able t flw withut restrictin.
Preparatin fr Start Up Preparatin (cntinued): Ensure that crankcase heater has been n fr at least 8 hurs prir t startup.
Start Up Steps Chiller Startup: Pwer Up - Turn the selectr switch t either ON r LOCAL. Inspect entire system fr fluid leaks and gd flw. Re-check system fluid level befre cntinuing. Apply heat lad. While the chiller is under a lad, recrd the fllwing: Vltages Pressures Temperatures Amps
Start Up Steps Chiller Startup (cntinued): Cmpare t the Data Pack recrdings prvided with the installatin and maintenance manual.
Standard Maintenance Maintenance: Prper maintenance is the key t extending the life f yur chiller. Inspect and clean cndenser: Remve buildup f dirt, il, and ther debris Inspect cndenser fins use cmpressed air >30PSI in ppsite directin f air flw Clean air filters, blw and/r wash ut. Check water quality/glycl mixture. Inspect fluid filters/strainers. Inspect fluid system fr: Fluid leaks Lse pipe fittings r hses Plumbing parts fr wearing, cracking, r chafing
Standard Maintenance Maintenance (cntinued): Check vltage & amp draws: Readings shuld be within ±10% f the nameplate Maximum difference f ±2% between each phase Inspect mechanical cmpnents: Lk fr signs f wear r ver-heating, disclred paint/metal culd be a sign f a mtr under excessive lad and ver-drawing current Listen fr metallic sunds r ther excessive nise Fill all cmpnents with lubricatin fittings Check all wiring: Make sure Discnnect is OFF Replace damaged t reduce shrting r unintentinal grunds
Standard Maintenance Maintenance (cntinued): Inspect/test refrigeratin system: Pump seals: Check the inside f the chiller fr evidence f refrigerant leaks. Spts f il inside f the chiller r refrigeratin lines cvered in il culd indicate a pssible leak. Cntact DTS fr certified refrigeratin technician. NOTE: All pump seals are designed t have sme leakage t prmte lng seal life. A small amunt f leakage is cnsidered nrmal. With water r water/glycl mst f the leaking fluid evaprates befre ever dripping belw the pump. Glycl staining r a drp r tw belw the pump is cnsidered nrmal. With il, expect sme evidence f il - il cannt evaprate.
Standard Maintenance Maintenance Intervals: Intervals vary greatly due t the applicatin and lcatin.
Tips Damaged Cndenser Cils Plugged Cndenser Cils Fuled Cils Plugged Filter
Tips What yu need t knw abut using/replacing: DI Water All applicatins belw 5 us (Micr Siemens) require high purity plumbing. Oil and Water Sluble Keep free f debris and filtered t at least 50 micrns. City and Well Water Check the system mnthly, buildup f sediments and leaching f metals can build up in the system and lwer cling capacity as well as eat thrugh seals. Distilled water is recmmended wherever pssible.
